I'm new to Ubuntu and trying to survive, but, I can't figure this one out - hopefully it's easy!
Ubuntu Software Center says: New software can't be installed, because there is a problem with the software currently installed. Do you want to repair this problem now?
When I do, it just fails.
I think it all started when I tried to install a better drive from AMD's site for my video card. Based on information from the terminal window I tried:
sudo apt-get install -f
and I got
relskhan@Ceti-Alpha-V:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
[sudo] password for relskhan:
Sorry, try again.
